Standing Still almost 2 weeks...weight loss stall

[Numenow 32]

Hey My Sleever Sisters,

So I'm almost 30 days post-op (sleeved 11/20) I've lost 25 pounds, but have been at a stall for almost 2 weeks. Trying not to get worried about it, but will be glad when my weight loss picks up again. I'm also on Carafate for GERD..hard to swallow the pills though...(Horse Pills)

Any feedback/support would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks

I was sleeved on 11/14, so I'm a little a head of you.

I had a serious slow down between weeks 3 and 4 - I only weigh once per week, so I don't know exactly when it happened, but I lost about 4 pounds in those two weeks. Doesn't sound bad except for I was losing much more than that prior to that. I think I'm back on track now - I allowed myself an extra weigh in this week and it shows I'm already down two pounds.

I am trying not to get hung up on the scale - but it's hard. My husband hides the scale from me during the week and brings it out for my weigh in on Thursday mornings.

A couple of things that help me - I track my intake. I don't know if I'll do this forever, but for now, it helps me keep an eye on my Protein and carbs. Carbs are my downfall. It will also help tell you if you're getting enough calories.

Are you exercising? Walking is great exercise at this point - move your body, that will help as well.

Hope this helps! Good luck to you.

Thanks for your kind encouragement. I'll just keep it moving...

Happy Holidays to U and Yours,
